According to daily average sunshine data from the nearest weather station at Flying Fish Point, households in this community receive approximately 5.5 kWh of sunlight per day. Across 4860, rooftop solar systems collectively generate approximately 25,077,000 kWh of clean energy each year, based on an average system size of 8.1 kW. At current electricity rates, that's equivalent to around $7,523,100 of clean energy at grid electricity costs annually.

Solar Battery energy storage is growing just as rapidly, with 50 battery systems now installed across 4860. Together, these systems provide 987 kWh of stored energy capacity, with the average household storing around 19.7 kWh.

So instead of sending excess solar energy back to the grid for lower returns, Coconuts homeowners are now storing and using their own clean power around the clock. This smart approach not only reduces reliance on expensive coal-generated electricity from the grid, it protects against blackouts, improves sustainability, and maximises their solar investment and long-term financial returns.
